The word Tantra comes from two topics: tan, and that means lay between, on leave. The Tantras are books in which the writing of explicit methods to gain their freedom. The Tantra is a practical philosophy, a psychology and a spirituality that has a natural end to freedom. The oldest texts date from the early centuries of our era and their treatment has never ceased, not belong to an era, a school, a religion, a people accurately; worship, schools, popular among their rivals each possess their own Tantra .
The first form is that of freedom from the known. The tantric, wherever and however you meet him, is always a character able to deconstruct your own world of views: it presents the possibility of a counter path than the path from your knowledge, a natural perception, that perception is not mediated by common values, of reality.
From a psychological point of view, in every meaning of the innocence of the Tantric path is the key to the experience of self. What makes sense victims of hypnotism common is the fear , which will encourage people to comply. Because of the fear is attachment to self, or ego-sense. All methods tantric yoga of India to the Tibetan, meditation Hindu to Buddhist, have the effect the dissolution of the attachments, the same attachment, that same sense of personal advantage and disadvantage, the rational calculation , where cultures, economies, societies are based.
Every culture can be seen, in its essence immediately, as the expression of a human attempt to escape from death.
The tantric tradition exists as a form of manifestation of the experience of the sacred, understood as a high capacity to be. Tantrism, then, is a reflection on death, love, beauty and justice, a reflection that does not exist except in the presence of an outbreak of the experience itself. The tantric tools are ecstatic evocation of that experience, what makes the whole tantric ritual revolves around the theme of sacrifice.
alien to the Orthodox religion, Tantrism is one of the largest spiritual movements in India, but beyond. Philosophy and psychology ahistorical par excellence, the tantric tradition has collected in itself the legacy of shamanic traditions and animistic pre-Buddhist and pre-Hindu developing them into a body of texts whose coding goes back to various eras and is still alive today: the Tantra, to be precise.
But the timeless tradition is the tradition that a stateless person, with different clothes and names, is found in East and West as part of the traditions of connaturante mysteries. In the West we think of the tantric aspects of alchemy, the Templar rituals, cults and even Celtic in the Islamic world, the obvious similarities between the techniques of ecstasy Sufism and those of Tantrism.
Yoga is the most practical of the Indian and Tibetan Tantrism, but in a broader sense, it takes many different connotations depending on the socio-cultural fabric in which it engages: There is a Buddhist tantric yoga, a yoga Tantric Hinduism, an ancient and a modern tantric yoga, tantric yoga, an often identified with Western alchemy, tantric yoga a Muslim, has also become known as Sufism, and there is even a tantric yoga in the Far East, identified with the Zen .
The word yoga is defined a journey of awakening of consciousness for bringing the man to the release by the union with the divine nature. In perfect harmony with the tantric philosophy, all forms of yoga include the use of the body as an instrument of liberation.
In Tantrism is not a metaphysical conception, if anything, the tantric tradition handed down a animist and shamanic vision in which the deity is one with nature and the body.
the metaphysical perspective, salvation is in the transcendence of the natural size limit, but in mysticism Of course, being one with the means to be a god with the Great Mother, the earth, which is also dark, which is also death, which is also suffering, which is basically the limit. The tantric, then, aspires to be one with the limit, without hope of redemption and without fear, but rather finding a perception of free, wild, independent of the limit which, in non-managed socially, it reveals pure strength and knowledge.
rid the idea that what is bright but is not that, freed from the expectations and fears is an essence tantric teaching.
The Tantric does not aspire to overthrow the order of things, but to liberate the soul. In a philosophy course, things become meaningful because of the existence of their opposites: freedom is meaningful only in relation to a world that is not free. So the tantric, released alive, makes the world its own instrument, a means, not a subject of a revolution. However even you must think that the Tantra is a path of personal salvation that excludes a global salvation: it is indeed the opposite.
Happiness is a collective goal for the tantric, whose implementation can not be left exclusively to individual effort. However the collective achievement of happiness is subject to certain conditions which the epochal manifestation on earth is not influenced at the individual level. Faced with this Tantrism does not take a fatalistic attitude of passive waiting, as it would be logical (in Tantrism is the logical choice, not an imperative).
The Tantric know that the freedom of others, as an event inside, can not be influenced by some, nevertheless has the right to serve the general freedom.
In natural philosophy the limit and can not only exist as points of departure open to endless possibilities.
In a speech on June 21, 2005 the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Jigme Y. Thinley says, "Happiness can be achieved as a social goal, it can not be achieved as a personal goal, like a commodity, also can not be pursued as an objective of the individual competition. Happiness can not be distributed to individuals as a commodity or a service. However, it is too important to be exposed to the pure individual effort and research, without a collective commitment or government. [...] In communist society, by cultural learning, education, psychological education, many efforts are made to ensure that people seek freedom from a negative attitude that their happiness. Bring to light what haunts a man, find out what tricks his true nature and reveal his inner self is a task far more higher than the tame nature and to conquer the outside world. "
Bhutan is the only place in the world that has as its official religion Tantric Buddhism Drupa Kagyu. Not only the Buddhist Tantrism retains many of the fundamental traits of the ancient shamanistic religion primitive, but, in particular, the Drupa Kagyu, the form of Tantric Buddhism in Bhutan is compared to Mahayana Buddhism in general, the closer to the ancient primitive religion, cults mythical symbol of shamanism and emphasizes the practice of the discipline of tantric yoga and meditation alone, according to the teachings of the great tantric yogi who came from Naropa to Marpa the famous poet and mystic Milarepa.
You can not free your mind by the mind, you can not leave except by the intelligence of a superior intelligence. Exists in nature, femininity, and, therefore, in Tantra, a mystical intelligence that seems a little 'how the other half of the apple than the logical mind.
The tantric tradition is conscious of being born over history, knows that it has standing as a force that is beyond the mind to access the root of the force passes through the Tantric ' ecstatic experience.
The ecstatic nature of the experience is purely artistic and creative poetry and imagination are the tools tantric ecstasy.
is in the middle of the poetic force that can be created in the consciousness "was extended" in which what is imagined buy force to occur in everyday life. The great Aurobindo claimed to have become a yogi because he was a poet. Poetry has always been the secret tantric ecstasy. Reading the lives of the great tantric (Milarepa, but gcig, Padamasambhava, etc.) that is evident.
is mistaken who thinks that the shamanic ecstasy is the result of the use of psychedelic drugs or mental imbalance. Indeed, as argued authoritatively Mircea Eliade, the use of drugs would be an aberration rather than the shamanic phenomenon, "the decadence of a technique of ecstasy" (Shamanism and techniques of Ecstasy, Mircea Eliade, Ohara, 1988, Rome, p. 507. Links to the See also pp. 442 and 523).
The "perception of free, creative" of the cause of it is rather poetic soul of the shaman, his waking up dall'ipnotismo values \u200b\u200bof the world and of having acquired a free way of perceiving reality through the innocence of the senses. Drum, song, dance, breath control and all other instruments of the trance, would prove ineffectual if they had a perception of free media.
Tantrism is a noble tradition whose symbolism is intended to awaken the consciousness of the ability Maybe. The traditions of the soul have always cultivated a sense of the sacred, or sacruum facere, that high ability to be, which contains in itself is healing and liberation.
Modern psychology and psychoanalysis, to the extent that they are an expression of the vision of a certain class that developed in relatively recent times, the bourgeoisie, conceived the symbol in a manner independent of the nature of psycho-spiritual traditions and values interpretation is in fact reversed. But it is the diagnostic categories and the need for standards that applied to the psyche will cause disruption.
The scientific method applied to the psyche determines the observation by means of assessment tools that depend on the values \u200b\u200bof the time, the cultural fashions, the spirit of the times. Science, by discriminating the instrument which produces it, the reason is to be a product of society's values \u200b\u200bfrom which it springs.
In a society in which the person who holds the power of symbol and is master of the language is the market blossomed in excess of the pseudo-scientific paradigms and the psyche, along with therapeutic models proposed for the market .
The crisis of the scientific method leaves plenty of room now to return to the ancient philosophy and traditions of the soul as pre-scientific, indeed, Tantrism, which demonstrate their universal in its ability to respond to the needs of modern man in a key non-therapeutic.
should reflect in depth on the relationship between therapeutic needs and the god of modern times: the market. In this regard, I ask forgiveness if I can not resist the temptation to mention the joke of a great modern-day, Woody Allen, who I hope will make you smile for the first psychoanalysts themselves, "Psychoanalysis is a myth held by the feet of the sofa. "
After all "there is need to" reflect on analytical thinking, to realize its predilections for psychopathology and the fact that psychology has become an impressive, yet subtle way to deform the inculcation of the psyche conviction that in it there is something wrong and, therefore, to analyze the diagnostic categories through his imagination. "(James Hillman The myth of the analysis, Adelphi, Milano, 1979., p. 16.)
But "the analysis is too powerful because you can discard so easily. It's too the idea that this century has of himself and is too necessary to his ego psychology. The analysis will end when we discover the myth that it enacts, a discovery that could also not get all at once but gradually emerges with the insights that reveal the relationship of analysis to do with the soul.
You do the soul that keeps us enthralled, fascinated as the analysis. Do not diagnose what's wrong, and even the care of our disease, but the potential contained in the analytic therapy in relationship to do precisely soul. "(James Hillman, op. Cit., P. 19)
I want to conclude with a poem.
I state that, according to Tantra, the perceptive activity is an activity of thought that involves choices: I can choose which tools to filter through the perception and in what ways to use my tools. It follows that there is no single model of body and psyche, but many models are possible as many tools and ways of human perceptual activity.
Here is a tantric vision of the human body.
In your body there is the Mount Meru
enclosed by the seven continents;
there are rivers,
seas, mountains, plains,
the gods of the earth. You see
prophets, monks, pilgrimage sites
and deities who protect them.
There are stars and planets
the sun with the moon.
There are two forces,
that destroys what it creates.
Yes, your body has everything
that exists in the three worlds.
